Re: How do I avoid printing any grace notes?

[Mats Bengtsson]

One alternative, is to redefine the \grace command to do nothing:

\version "2.12.0"

\relative c'{
c4 \grace c8 d4 \grace {c16[ d e d ]} c2 |
}

grace=#(define-music-function (parser location music) (ly:music?) 
(make-music 'SequentialMusic 'void #t))

\relative c'{
c4 \grace c8 d4 \grace {c16 d e d } c2 |
}
